The Ministry of Employment and Labor (Minister Lee Jeong-sik) and the Korea Employment Information Service (Director Na Young-don) asked company officials in charge of actual recruitment questions about things young job seekers are curious about and announced the results.

• Once you become accustomed to solving past exam questions, you can set the practical exam time to 40 minutes and repeat the practice of solving them in the above order.
  • When you first study, study in this order: Basic Task 1 → Basic Task 2 → Basic Task-3 → Calculation Task → Conditional Formatting → Analysis Task → Macro → Chart .
  • When solving past exam questions, study in this order: Basic Task 2 → Basic Task 3 → Analysis Task → Macro → Chart → Calculation Task → Basic Task 1 .

• The most crucial part of the practical exam is the calculation section. Because it involves writing questions using functions, it carries a significant weighting and is the most crucial part. I recommend studying and mastering functions repeatedly to ensure you're fully prepared for the exam. It's best to leave the calculation section last. The exam is only 40 minutes long, so spending too much time on calculations will leave you with less time for analysis, macros, and charts.

• The passing score for the Level 2 Computer Skills Practical Exam is 70 points or higher, so study with a goal of 79 points by answering at least 3 out of 5 questions on basic tasks (15 points), analysis tasks (20 points), macros (10 points), charts (10 points), and calculation tasks (24 points).

• This course provides practical examples, study questions, and solutions for the Level 2 Computer Proficiency exam, along with PDF files containing two previous Level 2 Computer Proficiency exam questions. Particular attention has been paid to the computational functions section. Detailed explanations and examples for each function, along with solutions to five computational problems, make it easy to understand functions.

Q. Do you have any tips for passing the Level 2 Computer Proficiency Test?

To study for the Level 2 Computer Proficiency Practical Exam, I recommend attending an academy or attending online lectures rather than studying on your own. For the Level 2 Computer Proficiency Practical Exam, dedicate at least five hours a day to diligently preparing!
And it is recommended to prepare in this order: Basic Task 2 -> Basic Task 3 -> Analysis Task -> Macro -> Chart -> Calculation Task -> Basic Task 1. Since the most important part of the practical test is the calculation task part, you should focus on studying the calculation task.

Q. How does the practical difficulty compare to ITQ Excel?

The Level 2 Computer Proficiency Practical Exam is slightly more difficult than the ITQ Excel exam. The biggest difference between the two exams is the difficulty of the function questions. The Level 2 Computer Proficiency Practical Exam requires studying more functions, and the function questions are more difficult than those on the ITQ Excel exam, requiring more time to devote to calculations.

Q. I'm having trouble deciding between the Level 1 and Level 2 computer skills certifications. Which one should I pursue?

A Level 1 computer proficiency certificate can be considered a plus when applying for jobs at local public corporations, firefighters, or police officers. Completing Level 2 computer proficiency and obtaining certifications like ITQ Hangul, ITQ PowerPoint, or Word Level 1 can lead to office jobs. Ultimately, your decision depends on your career path.

💡 The secret to obtaining a Level 2 computer skills certificate as quickly as possible

The fastest way is to study the practical skills first, then take the written test, and then the practical test.

If you're thinking, "I haven't even taken the Level 2 Computer Proficiency written exam, so I should study for the practical exam?" the answer is yes. That's because the written exam includes "General Spreadsheet (Excel)" as its subject. Since the written exam covers the Excel content from the practical exam, if you already know Excel, you can jump right into the written exam for the General Spreadsheet section. For the other subject, for General Computer, you can simply read the summary two or three times and then repeatedly solve past exam questions.
